Put a gloss on a European combination! (12)
I believe the answer is:
frenchpolish
'put a' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'gloss on a european combination' is the wordplay.
'gloss' becomes 'polish' (synonyms).
'on' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'a european combination' becomes 'french' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'polish' put after 'french' is 'FRENCHPOLISH'.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Irish News.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
